One little girl was sick for weeks, suffering from stomach pains and diarrhea. Her concerned father couldn't figure out the cause of her suffering. Then he cracked open her water cup and was horrified by what he found.

Craig Beresford became suspicious of his daughter's Sistema Twist 'N' Sip reusable drinking bottle when his daughter kept getting sick. He grabbed a knife to crack open the top.

“Today, I took a sharp knife and broke the cap apart,” wrote Beresford. “It isn’t designed to be taken apart and requires a bit of force to disassemble. The internal components have been hoarding bacteria. We were horrified and heartbroken that our little girl had been using this bottle in this state.”

Sippy cups are notorious for nooks and crannies that allow for mold, yeast and microbes to set up camp. Some of the spots can be difficult to reach when cleaning.

Beresford contacted the Sistema company, and they posed videos demonstrating how to clean and sterilize their water bottles.
